Fascinating program - I could relate to it all. Especially a friendship I had with a male for a few years where later he walked away without an explanation. He had been my best friend but then I had no explanation. I wrote a long letter asking to know why-this was in the pre email days- but he never replied. Also the lady who is ill-, which is when you need the support- my husband had cancer and after I lost him friends drifted away, which was difficult. But conversely I had one friend who was a rock during that time. Afterwards we had to sort out our boundaries and expectations of each other as she had her first child about 2 months after i lost him, but with a bit of patience and talking we sustained our friendship and its gone from strength to strength. She remains a hugely important part of my life and vice versa despite our different life positions at the moment. Finally , how sweet is the lady who still admires her friend even though her friend turned away from her without explanation. How awesome that she can get past the bitterness and sense of rejection to still admire this woman. It's probably her ex-friend's loss that they are no longer friends. Thanks.
